Remember when the Cardinals' Albert Pujols skipped a session with the media following last year's World Series Game 2 loss to the Rangers and everyone made a big stink about it? Now the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera is traveling that same road.

According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, Cabrera "was showered, dressed and heading out the door as the media arrived" in the Tigers' clubhouse after Saturday night's Game 3 loss to the Giants. Prince Fielder stayed behind to answer questions, as did many of Detroit's other prominent players. But Cabrera wanted no part.

Here is Crasnick's take on Miggy's decision to bolt:

Superstars and team leaders have an obligation to stand at their lockers on good days and bad, and Cabrera failed the leadership test by fleeing the scene and leaving his teammates to face a never-ending assault of questions about the Tigers' offensive futility.
